Description Sabine Achilles CLA 2011-09-13 02:49:30 EDT 
It is not possible to change the background color of a List widget. It doesn't matter if the LnFUpdater is activated or not.
To reproduce modify ListSubModuleView in the Example Client and try setting: listPersons.setBackground(LnfManager.getLnf().getColor("red")); Nothing changes. Trying the same on e.g. a Table worked without a problem.
At the moment the only working way to change the background color of a List is to set it globally in the LnF.

The background is still a property of the _Control_.
This means, that the same control will always keep its background, event when used with another ridget.

Here is a little snippet:
